Avenging Sons Rhino COMPLETE


I figured I'd do a vehicle "test model" for the next thing, and I'm even happier with this than I am with the veteran I painted earlier. I think the bright scheme really pops, especially with the weathering. The Avenging Sons chapter symbol was done with green stuff. I cut a template from thick card stock, and then used heat activated mold material that Cool Mini Or Not sells to make a press mold. I did one for a vehicle sized one like this, as well as one that would work for a shoulder pad or small icon. The first attempt here could be crisper, but overall I'm really pleased with it and plan to continue.

The black sections of the Rhino mark it as 5th company, 1st Tactical Squad. Here's a few more pics- thanks for checking it out!

    That is tight! I like the subtle weathering. Quite refreshing after seeing your DKK stuff - almost looks clean! lol. Well done - again!

    A beautifully painted rhino ... very bright ... definitely a beacon that calls for a salvo of heavy bombardment from the forces of chaos. =)

    Thanks for the comments guys! I've got a cool video project planned for next year, and these guys are going to be featured in it. For the next couple weeks though, I've got to turn my sights to Flames of War and my SS Panzerkompanie. Time to get it done once and for all!

    DIY chapter symbol really brings out the rhino. No small one in front??

    Great work, you manage to weather the vehicle but on the other hand keeps the overall look and feel clean, salute!

    ps: the wing at the side door still WIP?

    Nope, it's all done "me". Didn't want to "pop" the eagle door too much and have the weathering effect look weird. Grey basecoat, black oil wash, and light grey drybrush was all that was done.
